Nautical Gift Basket
Great Gifts For Boaters
A nautical gift basket is a wonderful idea for all boating people -- men, women, couples, or entire families. Boating gift baskets work for many holidays and special occasions -- birthdays, Father's Day, Christmas, and anniversaries to name a few. This is also a nice gift when you are invited to spend time on a friend's boat.
Start by selecting an unusual container that can be used on their boat. Picnic baskets, ice buckets, wicker baskets, and wooden crates are all good ideas well as unbreakable basins, pails, or buckets. Any of these choices would be appropriate for boating gift baskets.
Personalize your
nautical gift basket
with items they would enjoy. Some ideas are a boating/yachting magazine, book about boating, a compass, barometer, picture frame with nautical theme, ship in a bottle, windchimes, sea shells, unbreakable mugs, scented candles, insect repellent, a high powered flashlight, a Swiss Army knife with a corkscrew, floatable key chains, a disposable waterproof camera, sunblock, and a first aid kit.
You can also use fishing, barbecue, wine, or
beer theme gifts
in this kind of gift basket. Think about the person's hobbies or what he/she likes to do with their free time. Then include small gift items that are related to those pastimes.
Also include small bags of snack foods, cans or bottles of beverages, paper cups and napkins. Unbreakable glasses, a bottle of rum, and cocktail mixes would make a nice addition.
Maybe you prefer a more playful type of gift. If so, choose a large plastic toy boat as the container. Include gifts with a boating theme. Fill in the empty spaces with nautical theme terry towels, candy, gum, and other small snacks. You could also turn the boat into a mini bar with plastic glasses, paper napkins, a bottle of rum, drink umbrellas, and other such items.
